I don't know of a single one.  Any more than I can think of any algorithm I
can't implement in C inside Crafty.

It really shows that you simply have nothing to add to the discussion.
The main problem would be moving large amounts of data around in one clock.
But he doesn't have to do that...  so shoot.. name something that would be
hard.  I'll pass it to a couple of EE faculty here that I chat with all the
time, and we can get an expert opinion on whether it would be hard or easy
to design an ASIC circuit to pull it off...

No...  One of the last things I used to tell new black belts after they were
awarded their shiney new belt at the awards presentation "Now your karate
education _really_ begins" (most think it just ended).

When you graduate, you know everything.  10 years later you will be surprised
at how much you _don't_ know.  So no, I am not impressed with a new EE graduate,
much less one that hasn't graduated yet.  The BS is just the _first_ degree you
can earn.  There are two more.  _then_ I'll be impressed.
